Bloody annoying though. Getting my clothes back was also a nightmare.

But looks like they must've had something wrong in the first place to be vulnerable at all. Plumber's here now and had is poking at my hole (ooh-err), so we'll get there in the end. Man, I'm tired.

I pretty much dismissed this as a psychosomatic, or something, but the water was coming out pretty muddy; is it possible a burst somewhere else overloaded your plumbing?

One of those moments when you wish you kept more rubber ducks in your house just so you could have a photo of them floating around your house? Hope nothing of yours is badly damaged, wallpaper aside.

You should check out what they can do once you've found out what caused it. What a bloomin' nightmare! Let me know if there's anything I can do.

It was a list of issues found. One thing they didn't mention was the time it took to fix those issues - making FireFox still more secure. I feel your pain.

Can't help but think the UI on this really let it down. The browsing experience is unparralelled however. As is the QWERTY. A serious bit of kit! “Plus, there’s something distinctly sexy about opening up a terminal on your new phone and typing “sudo apt-get install dosbox” onto it, and a few minutes later having a fully-functional DOS emulator running in your pocket.”
